I wanted to buy a 8 or 10 miles range motorola walkie too.

But the seller told me that some of the latest model 8-10 miles walkie do not work with the older 5 miles walkie.
AS a results I bought the 5miles one. cos most of the drivers in Singapore uses the 5miles walkie.

Unless u used the pair of 8-10 miles with your friends or family or it would be of limited use.

I forgot what is the 8-10 miles model, but just take note and check.

I believe that they are using a digital handset walkie not like our analogue ones.

If u wish to comunicate though out the whole island, it can also be done by buying the motorola moblie *** walkie set, but need to pay a mthly subscribsion fee.
Just like those used by the taxi drivers.

Need to get one and this model is tops at work.
The VOX sensitivity is better than the rest.
Only thing, the design is not really that fantastic.
